TRUSSVILLE, ALABAMA -Steyr Arms has drastically reduced the price of its big-bore ultra-long-range HS .50 and HS .460 rifles to $3,995 for the entire month of April-or while supplies last. This special promotional sale represents a savings of nearly 25 percent off the suggested retail of $5,299 for HS .50 and HS .460 rifles.

Available in either .50 BMG or .460 Steyr chamberings, the smooth-cycling, single-shot, bolt-action HS platform features a 33-inch cold-hammer-forged and fluted barrel that provides unparalleled accuracy and ensures supersonic velocity at distances beyond 1,500 meters with most match ammunition. A highly efficient, three-chamber muzzle brake tames felt recoil. The barrel is fully free-floated above the rigid aluminum stock. A beefy two-lug bolt locks into the barrel block, which mates the barrel to the stock via two action screws. This configuration provides for quick and easy disassembly for cleaning and transportation. A 20-MOA declination Picatinny rail is attached to the barrel block, so the scope remains attached to the rifle when disassembled to prevent loss of zero. Maintenance is easy due to a low parts count.

The HS rifle has a two-stage direct trigger, and it utilizes a standard AR-style pistol grip. The rifle comes complete with a heavy-duty adjustable bipod that pivots on a Versa-Pod-style post. Purpose-built scope mounts are available from Steyr Arms in 1-inch, 30 mm and 34 mm sizes.

Steyr Arms is one of the world's oldest and most prestigious firearms manufacturers. Steyr's comprehensive lines of premium hunting rifles and precision sporting and tactical firearms are technically mature, and their subtle elegance also communicates the harmony between appearance and substance. In addition to the Steyr-Mannlicher rifles, Steyr Arms is now the sole U.S. importer and distributor of Merkel shotguns, rifles, drillings and combination arms as well as the Anschutz Sporting Rifle Series.
